Microsoft is planning to [https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/exchange/retirement-of-exchange-web-services-in-exchange-online/3924440| retire] the Exchange Web Service(EWS) protocol in Exchange Online. This decision affects all companies that use EWS not just MailStore. This makes it necessary to use alternative access to Exchange Online mailboxes going into the future. We provide a conversion tool that will try to help you migrating profiles that rely on EWS and will stop working in the future.
The current Microsoft timeline for that can be followed [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/clients-and-mobile-in-exchange-online/deprecation-of-ews-exchange-online| here].

===Accessing the conversion tool===
